Stanford on Avon questions
My house in Stanford on Avon is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We’ll give you an honest view from photos.

Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included.
Are you a vetted contractor?

Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NN6 postcode.

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around Stanford on Avon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. For a rural address like Stanford on Avon, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
